The room was dark as she sat in her chair by the window. Only the light emitting from the moon was the only light inside. She looked out her window to the starry sky, leaning on the sill, wondering what she had done wrong to deserve such loneliness. She moved her eyes upward, keeping her chin on her hands. A shooting star had just passed. Oh, she thought, I should make a wish... She closed her eyes tightly and wished for someone to come into her life. She knew wishing on stars was overrated, and it'll most likely never come true, but it was worth a try.
Setting: A small apartment on the edge of town. A sign outside sporting the words "Roommate wanted". Could this be what she was looking for?
PM me if you're interested. Please put the subject as "When light fades... WYWUPAS"

The sound of the phone ringing startled her as she sprang up from her seat at the window sill. Who could be calling at this hour, she thought to herself as she walked from her seat to where the phone was situated. It was already getting late, but she picked up the phone anyways.
"Hello?"
"Hi, this is Mr. Fontaine from the front desk. There was an inquiry about the roommate wanted sign," the man went on to tell her more about him.
"Oh, ok. Umm, you can send him up now if you'd like. I'll interview him now."
"Yes ma'am," the man said just before he hung up the phone.
She hung up her end and lingered at the phone for a moment before taking a quick look in the mirror next to the phone and brushing her hair with her fingers. She pulled a tube of lip gloss from her pocket and put some on, patting it gently with her finger.

She heard the knock and her heart started to race. She walked the short distance to the door and looked through the peephole. Ooooh.... she thought, this could be interesting.
She stepped back and took a deep breath before opening the door. She looked at him, and opened her mouth as if to say something, but couldn't. She stood there holding the door open. Then she shook her head and ushered the man in.

"Thank you," she said as she nodded her head a little. "And it's no inconvenience."
She smiled a little and took his hand.
"So, tell me a little about yourself."
She hadn't noticed that she was still holding on to his hand, but she wasn't about to let go anyways.

She felt the light squeeze and her face became flushed. She withdrew her hand quickly.
"My name's Pixi Starr. I'm going to school right now to be a graphic designer, and I doodle in my spare time. I, just like you, like to draw, and decided computer animations and graphics were the way to go," she told him as she smiled and walked toward the sofa.
She hoped he'd follow, and she sat on the sofa's edge.

She looked at the hand on her shoulder and her whole body quivered.
"Oh, I know," she told him. "The rent is 500$, so that's 250$ a piece."
She smiled nervously. She had never thought her wish would come true that fast.
She moved her eyes from his hand to his eyes. God, he's gorgeous, she thought. Then she looked away quickly.

A little shocked at his response to her quiver, she looked back at him.
"Yes, much better."
She smiled now, as she noticed his arm still around her. Without thinking, she put her own hand on his hand and gazed into his eyes.

Her smile faded when he told her he had to leave.
"Yea, you can," she said as she put her head down.
She got up and walked him to the door.
"Here's your jacket," she said as she took the jacket off her shoulders and handed it to him.
"I'll see you tomorrow."
